Not a lot of bright spots in Dolphins secondary, but Reshad Jones is one

During their first two games of the season, they haven’t been a lot of positives about the way the Dolphins secondary has played. However, one of the players performing well is safety Reshad Jones.

In the Dolphins dreadful 20-6 loss to the Jets over the weekend, Jones led the team in tackles with eight, including two tackles for loss. When speaking to reporters on Monday, Jones said there’s still room for improvement when it comes to his play.

“I think I’m playing solid, but I’ve got to do more,” Jones said. “We’ve got to continue to win football games. It’s about winning around here and I think I’ve just got to do more.”

After tearing his rotator cuff last October and missing the Dolphins last 10 games, it appears Jones is back to his Pro Bowl form. Pro Football Focus gave Jones an 83.7 overall grade for his play against the Jets, which was the third-best grade for any Dolphins player.

Although the stat sheet says the Dolphins defense didn’t play all that badly against the Jets, Jones says the team has to find ways to great better.

“We did do bad,” Jones said. “We didn’t win the game. We didn’t do enough to win a football game, so anytime we lose, there’s no moral victories. We’ve got to find a way to re-group and get better.”
